Where do I start?????

Let's start with April 20th, 2008!!!!! It's official! We are engaged.... and I am over the moon happy. When I took my ring in yesterday to get sized "7 to 10 days" was like acid to my ears! What 7 to 10 days???? Well I can wait I guess, but honestly I was so happy to have it only to give it back! Joe did a great job, we decided to keep it simple with all of the activity around here which brings me to my next exciting news. We moved...across the street. Literally. Joe was so great taking my love of my tree house into consideration in the decision of relocation. And in true God fashion the house across the street became available so we jumped on it. So I have up graded my tree house from 1100 square feet, barbie kitchen and muddy drive way to nearly 2500 square feet, workable kitchen and pavement! It is so wonderful to have some breathing room. When we become a family of five the extra space is going to be a necessity. Sooo we decided to get the kids and I moved before we start the wedding planning, etc... I am so grateful that Joe is so understanding about not making too many drastic changes for the kids. Marriage is enough of an idea for them to grasp so keeping their neighborhood the same worked out beautifully! So back to the wedding!!!!! San Diego on the Beach and then a reception May 18th in Bellingham. Joe's hometown is San Diego and I always wanted to marry with my feet in the sand so it was a natural decision. Here are some pics of the new pad:

My kitchen is seriously about five times the size the one I had in the cabin.The fact that I have a little spot for backpack hooks is a joyful thing! Yip and Yap in the kid area...more on that latter.

So thank you to all of you out there that love me and that have prayed throughout the last four years. God is definitely answering our prayers. Joe is amazing and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life experiencing life side by side! Stayed tuned for more wedding details!

Amy ~I am so very excited for you!!!! I knew this was coming, but to know that it is set in stone is awesome!!! Please keep us posted on your May 18th reception as we would love to celebrate with you!!! You deserve every good and perfect gift that God is giving you!!!All our love,The Robertson Gang!!!
